The White House.gov website has corrected an embarrassing mistake made by President Obama during his press briefing yesterday about the Islamic State when the President said that U.S. forces were "training ISIL."Youtube

How is that a "slip-up"?

Where was George Stephanopolis or Candy Crowley to pull his bacon out of the fire?

Did you not know that Benghazi is in Libya? Did you not know the Allies returned Benghazi to Libyan troops after routing the Wehrmacht's Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in WWII? Now it's overrun with ISIS.

Oh, the joy of Obama's "Arab Spring".

I said that your quote has NOTHING to do with the title of your thread. You are disingenuous at best.

Benghazi (and all of Libya) was not given back to Libyan troops after Rommel was defeated. What is known as Libya was under both British and French control after the war ended. Libya did not exist in its current state until 1951 by mandate of the UN. Don't try to give history lessons to people that understand history better than you.

Obama: “We’re speeding up training of ISIL forces” (thanks to Robert Spencer) The thing is, we are training ISIL forces. We have given weapons to groups that the Pentagon has designated as “moderate” — groups such as the Free Syrian Army, which has collaborated with the Islamic State. The Obama Administration’s avid and fruitless search for “moderates” to fight the Islamic State has put the U.S. in the position of training and arming a great many jihadis for the Islamic State.

Earlier this week Barack Obama spoke to G20 members in Antalya, Turkey about the Muslim issue. Obama said this:

“I think on the one hand, non-Muslims cannot stereotype. But I also think the Muslim community has to think about how we make sure that children are not being infected with this twisted notion that somehow they can kill innocent people and that is justified…”

A mistake?

Huh?
